With Schneider out for at least the next four games, where the Devils play the Flyers, the Carolina Hurricanes twice, and the Tampa Bay Lightning, goaltending duties will again fall to Keith Kinkaid and Eddie Lack.

Kinkaid has gone 3-3-0 since Schneider's injury, but he lost his last three starts. Lack is 0-1-0 after making his first start in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Bruins.

Hynes said the Devils were open to starting Lack again on Tuesday after his performance on Sunday, so the two goalies will likely split the workload in some fashion this week.

With Lappin recalled, the Devils now have 14 forwards on the roster. John Quenneville missed Sunday's game with an undisclosed injury, so the Devils have an extra healthy body on hand to play if need be. Lappin was recalled for two games in December, where he scored one goal.
